{"product_id":"river-weather-alternating-current-9781946580290","title":"River Weather","description":"As the D.C. city sprawl moved west along the banks of the Potomac in the late 1990s, what had once been a rural backwater was rapidly transformed into a dystopian suburbia of suspicion, greed, and naked self-interest. This collection examines the resulting blends of money, race, and class that have come to define the ongoing metamorphosis of Northern Virginia. In \"Kalim Mansour,\" a boy trying to understand his father fixates on a mysterious Saudi car salesman. In \"Rowdy,\" a man who was sexually assaulted by his high school football team still romanticizes their masculine code of behavior. In \"A Non-Smoking House,\" two contractors battle the realtors who control their livelihood as the ties that bind civil behavior pull tight, and then snap. Each of MacKenzie's stories explores the incommensurable moments that lie at the heart of shared experience, the yawning gaps that separate us, and our desperate attempts to close them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cameron MacKenzie\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1946580295\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781946580290\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Alternating Current\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/16\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 170\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.42lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.39d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePW Booklife Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/29\/2021","brand":"Cameron MacKenzie","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43992762548479,"sku":"9781946580290","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_12432722-feca-44c4-b4da-c7b48f0a105d.jpg?v=1683320651","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/river-weather-alternating-current-9781946580290","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
